OSCA MT4

OSCA (Officine Specializzate Costruzione Automobili) was founded by the Maserati brothers in 1947 after they fulfilled their non-compete agreement with their former company. The MT4 featured a jewel-like twin-cam engine designed by Ernesto Maserati, producing impressive power from just 1.1 liters through advanced valve gear and careful tuning. With various coachbuilt bodies by Morelli, Frua, and Vignale, the MT4 achieved numerous class victories in international sports car racing despite competing against much larger machinery. These rare machines represent the Maserati brothers' pure engineering vision, unburdened by corporate constraints.
